I have been caustic in my reactions about Simar all the while. In retrospect, maybe i am trying to rehash an old topic of debate; that of the woman's heart in turmoil, often tossed between both her homes. This is the same shy girl of yesterday, the apple of her father's eye, unassuming and undemanding, who is thrown into a new relationship with its demands and responsibilities.
In a matter of two weeks Simar experiences attraction, furtive attempts at courtship, marriage and the loss of the pillar in her hitherto peaceful and contented life. Insecure in her personality, physical attributes and qualifications, all of a sudden she becomes the cynosure of all eyes, drawn into a relationship with a man who she feels outmatches her in every respect. Isn't this a problem that is the true life experience of many a girl from traditional families in Asia?
Torn between her duty towards her clueless and unprotected female relatives and the need to establish both physical and emotional relationships with this man who is now her legally wed husband and mate, she becomes withdrawn and quieter like a snail that draws its entire being into its secure shell.
The question is -- what is right and what is wrong in this case? How should Simar proceed to set her life in order at this stage? Would we call her selfish if she establishes her relationships with her new husband, albeit a friend now but for how long?
Friends, I invite you all to please discuss this aspect of Simar's life at length with total frankness and individuality. Please do not hesitate to share as during this everchanging journey we call life, a lesson learnt is one that has walked the road most travelled. Enjoy.😉
